after years of a solitary commute to work, i have been struck by how different life is when commuting on foot and via public transportation. now, i know that i am quite partial toward public transit in general (years of working in the transportation sector gets under ones skin), however, it's the social aspect that i'm really enjoying.

not only am i getting way more exercise, i love seeing the same people every day. i like piecing together their stories. no wonder nancy has 'bus-buddies'. my short but consistent journey down to next a few days a week, is really a weekly highlight. 

i'm sad to think what i was missing out on for all those years without realizing it.
